Abstract
Prior miniaturzed palm-top computers have reduced-size keyboards which are not useful for standard typing. The present invention provides a folding pocket-sized computer, comprising up to a 12' screen, a central processing unit, data storage and input means and a full size computer keyboard. It does this by having the keyboard divided into two halves hingedly connected along a fold line, whereby one of the keys is split along the fold line to permit folding of the keyboard, and by folding the screen and abutting the sections of the screen with no intervening frames.
